Great work from the T&H team in carrying out our regular quarterly cleaning to Winchester Cathedral.

Our team use chemical free products and soft brushes and cleaning cloths to remove dust from the museum exhibits.

Winchester Cathedral, one of the largest and most historically significant cathedrals in Europe, has stood as a symbol of England’s rich spiritual and cultural heritage for over 900 years.

Its origins trace back to 642 AD, when a modest church was built on the site, but the magnificent Gothic structure we see today was begun in 1079 under Norman rule.

Using chemical cleaning products or abrasives in Winchester Cathedral could cause significant damage to its historic architecture and priceless artifacts. The cathedral's stonework, stained glass, and ancient wood features are highly sensitive to harsh chemicals, which can erode surfaces, fade colors, and weaken the integrity of the materials.

Abrasive methods, too, pose a risk of scratching or wearing down delicate carvings and medieval finishes that have survived for centuries. Preservation of this architectural treasure requires gentle, conservation-approved cleaning techniques to ensure that its beauty and historical significance are safeguarded for future generations, without compromising its integrity through harmful substances. Our team ensure that the cleaning methods used on site keep the museum galleries looking great but ensure no harm to this ancient structure which has witnessed centuries of key events in British history.
